New Delhi, Feb 28:
World medallists Gaurav Bidhuri and Shiva Thapa were the notable omissions, while the likes of M C Mary Kom and Vikas Krishan were picked in India’s boxing squad for the Commonwealth Games, selected for the first time without conventional trials, today.
Three-time Asian medallist and 2015 world championship bronze-winner Shiva made way for national champion and India Open gold-medallist Manish Kaushik in the lightweight 60kg category.
Shiva and Manish have faced off twice so far, national championship final and India Open semifinal, with the latter winning on both occasions.(PTI)
